Lingerie Scene

Schoolgirls in underwear: the defining element of Japanese culture since 1969.

A lingerie scene is one in which a female character removes her clothes to reveal undergarments. Such activities expose cleavage and quite a bit of skin, but avoids the moral panic unleashed by going topless. In some cases, the gratuitous striptease at the beginning is optional; the scene may actually start with the subject walking around in her underwear (considered equally as hot in some circles).
